New Project M8 TM buggy

I got this M8 TM buggy from mister Germanese himself, with the intention to make it a A123 runner. I got my motor and ESC today and I'm still seeking a proper motor mount. Waiting for RCM reply on a mount. ESC will be a Schulze 18.97KW and a Plettenberg MAXXimum.

I just deal with the pain like a real man. Just my voice will be a bit smaller as my heuvos have turned into scrambled eggs.

Don't worry man. My older one will go on sale soon, along with a Lehner.

LOL, coolbeans man. I'll hold the Pletty for you.

I'm thinking that I have found all the misc adapters to make the buggy brushless, which drilling new holes for a motor mount.

The orange stuff was for the motorplates, which were on clearance for 5 bucks.

Dunno about the B40. All I know it's listed as 3mm. Just stick with the c40 man.

I have one of the c40 in my 1/12. They are regular size 540 motors. But if you take the heatsinks away, they are essentially the B40 motors.

I would think the weight is the same, as when I first got it. Just the gas tank came off, servo mount cut, nitro mount came off and the light weight tekno motor mount and battery tray went it. I'm waiting for that ACEpow 4s pack to run it.
